Ladybug

Ladybug is a free and open source environmental plugin for Grasshopper to help designers create an environmentally-conscious architectural design. Ladybug allows you to: import and analyze standard weather data in Grasshopper; draw diagrams like Sun-path, wind-rose, radiation-rose, etc; customize the diagrams in several ways; run radiation analysis, shadow studies, and view analysis for your design inside Grasshopper!Ladybug only works on Rhino 5.0. Unfortunately, there is no version for Rhino…See More

C# creating the parametric equations for a cube

Hi All,I am trying to write the parametric equations for a cube in C# and am a little confused as I have not written any script before. I think the function equation for a cube isfunction { max((y*y-1),(x*x-1),(z*z-1)) } but i am struggling to translate it into the necessary parametric equations. Please see grasshopper file attached.I am trying to hack a Millipede example and replace the example gyroid formation with a cube. I am not even sure if it is possible. Hopefully someone can point me…See More

"Hi Tim. You probably need to press the "step" button one or more times until it converges. When you first load the file millipede does about 5 optimization iterations but that is not enough for this model. Each time you press step a…"

Problem with example file 008 3d topstructure

Hey guys brilliant stuff here! I am having a problem using the example file 008 3d top the result seems a little strange to me please see attached image of the result. Hope you can help it would be most appreciated.Many Thanks TimSee More

Millipede

Millipede is a structural analysis and optimization component for grasshopper. It allows for very fast linear elastic analysis of frame and shell elements in 3d, 2d plate elements for in plane forces, and 3d volumetric elements. All systems can be optimized using built in topology optimization methods and have their results extracted and visualized in a variety of ways.In addition millipede implements a few basic geometric features [extraction of iso surface meshes from volumetric scalar fields…See More

"Hey Tim! What´s happening is that when you are using loopdivision with 2 iterations on each face the data seams to be the same in all the process, except the number of force objects (of course) but then happens this curious behaviour. Use 1…"

"Thanks again Lucas. Any time you can spare is invaluable to me. Had a bit of trouble loading it at first. It doesnot work on rhino 4.0 old grasshopper for some reason. So i have joined the world of rhino 5.0 and upgraded my grasshopper.…"
